If the common intention is expressed in one instrument, the will may be called a joint will, and if the testators have executed two separate instrument to manifest their common intention, the will may be called a mutual will.
Even though married couples often have the same goals in mind when making their estate plan, most attorneys advise against joint wills.
In simple terms, mutual Wills are an agreement, generally between two individuals, to make their Wills at the same time on agreed terms with a legally binding obligation that the Wills shall not be altered after the death of the first party.
The inflexibility of mutual wills is a key disadvantage, making them less ideal for those anticipating docHub life changes. Consulting an estate planning attorney is recommended due to the legal complexities involved.
When one person dies, a joint will becomes irrevocable. As we explained earlier, this means that the will can no longer be changed, modified, or revoked. Circumstances often change, yet the surviving spouse is stuck with the terms of the will as-is.

Related Q&A to Mutual Wills Package Form

Mutual Wills are very similar to Mirror Wills. However, a small difference is that both parties agree that the Wills cannot be cancelled, even if one of them dies. Documents should be present as evidence that the Wills are mutual.
Similar to a Joint Will, a Mirror Will is near-identical for each person involved. This is often the preferred choice for married couples because it offers more flexibility in altering the will, but ensures that distributions are left to the same beneficiaries in similar proportions, such as children, says Stone.
